About BABC
The British-American Business Council Chicago (BABC Chicago) facilitates the special relationship between British and American individuals and businesses.
We achieve this by offering enjoyable networking events, an informative Speakers Series, access to companies on both sides of the pond, and updates on emerging business and trade developments.
Members of the BABC in Chicago achieve business development opportunities through our company and government network
while also establishing valuable personal connections and friendships
with the diverse mix of people who make up the BABC community.
We comprise business people, politicians, and other parties who are interested in benefiting from our network’s leadership, experience, expertise and friendly camaraderie. We are committed to adding value to the Midwest economy, society and cultural life. We are a not-for-profit, member-driven organization.
The Broader BABC Network The British-American Business Council (BABC HQ) is the largest transatlantic business network, with 21 chapters and over 2,000 member companies based in major business centers throughout North America and the United Kingdom.
